Fano was known principally for his work on information theory. He developed Shannon–Fano coding [12] in collaboration with Claude Shannon, and derived the Fano inequality. He also invented the Fano algorithm and postulated the Fano metric. [13] In the early 1960s, Fano was involved in the development of time-sharing computers.
Life as the main story: For deaths where the person's life is the main story, where the news reporting of the death consists solely of obituaries, or where the update to the article in question is merely a statement of the time and cause of death, the "recent deaths" section is usually used.

Fano's inequality can be interpreted as a way of dividing the uncertainty of a conditional distribution into two questions given an arbitrary predictor. The first question, corresponding to the term H b ( e ) {\displaystyle H_{b}(e)} , relates to the uncertainty of the predictor.
Sydwhunte was the first to update the Elizabeth II Wikipedia article following her death. [1] [2] The volunteer editors of the online encyclopedia Wikipedia tend to update Wikipedia articles with information about deaths quickly after people die. [3] [4] Web developer and Wikipedia editor Hay Kranen coined the term "deaditor" to refer to these ...
His brother, Robert Fano, was an eminent professor emeritus of electrical engineering at MIT. Fano's cousin, Giulio Racah , made great contributions to the quantum theory of angular momentum (well known as Racah algebra), and wrote a concise monograph with Fano on the subject ( Irreducible Tensorial Sets , 1959).
Welcome to Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians. This is a memorial listing of English-language Wikipedians who have died. (Deceased Wikipedians who contributed in other languages are documented on their respective language wikis.) People in this list have changed English Wikipedia for the better in some way.
